But wouldn't the state have some cap on liability claims from incidents such
as this? For example, I believe Pennsylvania just passed a measure that
capped medical malpractice claims, or is debating such a piece of
legislation. Would a jury be able to find Clear Channel liable yet give her
a lower reward? Would that be up to whatever the state law is or would it be
up to the judge to instruct the jury that such is possible?
